Ryan,
What about those drunken men too!?
As for me, well there are not many perks.. But with our huge list of clientele, I'm sure there are some where I would get heavily discounted products from them!

In my next job (starting on 1/3/05), I will finally earn much money (well, at least more than before ). I even decided to pass on discounted air travel but I always hated to fly on these crappy stand-by tickets.
Another advantage beside more money: I will work directly at an airport.

I have you all beat! During lunch breaks/down-time, I can go walk the 737 final assembly. Walk right underneath the line and lovingly caress those beautiful wings as I walk by. Now that's what I call a perk! Free access to walk the line every few days and see what planes are going to who..

5 free magazines or paperback books a week.
Side perk is being right by ATL, so close that I can watch planes right from the parking lot.

I have a panoramic view of New York Harbor from my desk. I see helicopters buzzing around all day from the Wall St. heliport, planes flying overhead on their way to La Guardia, cruise ships and navy fleets sailing in and out, and on a clear day I can even see the action on the runways at Newark. Plus the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen, especially at this time of year when the sun is straight out my window.

When i first read the Topic, my first reaction was of bitterness and was wondering where i could get a picture of a rodent with a pancake on its head to symbolize my "perks".
But i then put a little thought into it and realized i did have some very good ones.
The best being invited to several Pro sporting events at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto Canada. The teams are as follows:
Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto Raptors
and the Toronto Rock.
All the above are in a private box with free food and drink and usually some goodies for my two kids and wife who are also allowed to come.
I also get invited to several functions throughout the year which involves, yet again, food and drink, and prizes. These prizes can be TV's, DVD players and the like.
So yes i do have a few perks

I work at Denver International Airport for United Airlines. My perks are - free flights anywhere United/United Express flies and having great photo opportunities.
Job security, however, is a whole other issue in this current environment.

Money does not bring you happiness. But it's better to cry in your own private limo than on a cold bus stop.

When I'm not in school I get free lift tickets and half off food while on the mountain plus tons of discounted ski equipment and occasionally discounted airline tickets if they are going the places I want to go.

I guess I am a "photojournalist" so I can work when and where I want. If I don't feel like taking an assignment, I don't have to.
It does not pay much at all (about 15 dollars a picture), but it's fun and always different.

Cool topic!
- From our board room, incredible view of Elliott Bay, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains. From the southern-facing offices, we get an amazing view of Mt. Rainier when she's "out".
- Day after Thanksgiving off, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve off. (If we have to work, we can choose another day to have off)
- Vested in 401k savings plan immediately (extremely rare). Vested in pension plan after 5 years. Pension plans are becoming increasingly rare these days...
- Eligibility in the bonus program, based on company and individual performance.
- Being in the Corporate office, there's often free food after big meetings for everyone to enjoy.
- Bus passes for commuting...in the Seattle area, that's as good as gold!
- Specific to my job: I get to see virtually all the money come in and go out, and am responsible for knowing where it's going.
